Usage
Use (Hekserij)
Petitgrain Paraguay essential oil has a green spicy citrus scent, which is not
particularly strong and therefore does not need to be diluted before mixing. It
goes well with other citrus scents, but also with floral scents such as orange
blossom, lavender and tuberose. It is used as a partial substitute for neroli
oil and bergamot oil. You usually use between 0.1% and 10% of this substance in
the fragrance composition. In perfumes it is mainly a top to heart note and is
quite stable. It can also be used in soap, provided it is combined with a
suitable fixative such as elemi resinoide.

Properties (Hekserij)
Essential oil Petitgrain Paraguay is a light yellow to yellow liquid at room
temperature. The substance has a fairly long shelf life. The oil is made by
steam distillation from the leaves, twigs and unripe fruits of the bitter
orange, also known as bitter or sour orange or Citrus aurantium L.. In this case
from the shrubby species that is grown in Paraguay. The name petitgrain refers
to the unripe fruits: the French petit grains means small grains. A petitgrain
is also made from various other citrus trees. Nothing has been added to the oil.
No artificial fertilizers and minimal or no pesticides are used in the
cultivation of the plants from which this oil is made. Like every essential oil,
